- About this plate
- THE PERMISSIVE VERB IS THE FINDING. Québec's diplomatic and consular prefixes are the only two in the whole art. 97-159 table introduced by « Peut porter » rather than « porte », so a CD plate is evidence of a diplomatic vehicle while the absence of one is evidence of nothing.
- Who can have one
- text: Règlement art. 98, opening verbatim: « Peut porter le préfixe “CD”, la plaque d'immatriculation d'un véhicule de promenade: 1° qui est un véhicule officiel appartenant à un État étranger qui a une représentation permanente accréditée auprès d'une organisation internationale gouvernementale ayant conclu une entente avec le gouvernement relative à son établissement au Québec; ... ». translation note: OUR TRANSLATION: a passenger vehicle's plate MAY bear the CD prefix where the vehicle is an official vehicle belonging to a foreign state with a permanent mission accredited to an intergovernmental international organization that has an establishment agreement with the government of Québec, and in the further cases the article enumerates.. cap: Art. 98 in fine caps at TWO the number of vehicles registrable on a CD plate by a person within its paragraphs 3 or 4.. permissive note: NOTE THE VERB: « PEUT porter », MAY bear. Unlike arts. 100, 110, 113 and 114, which say « porte » (bears), the diplomatic and consular prefixes are permissive. A diplomatic vehicle in Québec may lawfully wear an ordinary plate.
